Meghan McCarty brings you the Weekend Alibi, a roundup of the best entertainments in Southern California, so when anyone asks you how you spent your weekend, you've got a good alibi.

This week, find ways to beat the heat by hanging out with some cold-blooded reptiles, chilling out with a slice of watermelon or simmering down at the cinema with some preternaturally cool Jean-Luc Godard movies.

About The Madeleine Brand Show

The Madeleine Brand Show, exclusively on 89.3 KPCC, 89.1 KUOR and 90.3 KVLA, captures the spirit of the West in a conversational, informal, witty style and examines the cultural issues people are buzzing about. Hosted by Madeleine Brand, and produced by Kristen Muller, Steve Proffitt and Sanden Totten, the show includes regular segments like Weird L.A. - highlighting a person, place or thing that you've never heard about, but probably should; Parenting on the Edge - a weekly discussion on the challenges and pitfalls of raising kids; as well as regular contributors like Luke Burbank, Rico Gagliano, Brendan Newnam and John Moe to help dissect culture, technology and business news.
